An elk drunk from eating fermented apples in southern Sweden ended its binge by making off with a family's swing set and hiding it in the woods. Hunter in hand-to-hoof battle with angry elk (12 Sep 11) Drunken elk rescued from Swede's apple tree (7 Sep 11) 'Leffe the moose man' promises elk intimacy (6 Sep 11) A homeowner from Storebro in northern Kalmar County arrived home on Wednesday night to find his garden littered with bits of apple and other signs that an elk had been partying in his back yard, the local Östran and Barometern newspapers reported.
The concerned homeowner also discovered that the children's swing set which normally sat in the yard was missing.
The man immediately called police, who contacted a local hunter to track down the inebriated elk who was thought to possibly be injured.
Drunken elk are common in Sweden during the autumn season when fermenting apples are plentiful, both on the ground and hanging from the branches of trees which many Swedes have in their yards.
While police and the hunter failed to meet up with the prank-playing elk, they did eventually find the family's swing set, propped up in a tree deep in the woods about 500 metres from their home.
Sometimes you can get away with it in the summer but I would like to rent one right now for a few days and they are all in school.
Frank wants to get into the dog crate, but he can’t figure out how to work both latches at once.
Mine are underfoot, but they’re in the wrong state. Also, they’re hiding in their rooms lest they be expect to accomplish anything.
“Your mission Jim, should you choose to accept it, is to get into this crate. If you or any member of your team is captured or Vet’ed, the central office will disavow knowledge of your actions. This tape will self destruct now.”
Frank thinking, “Who’s Jim and why is this tape melting? Cool.”
Tape? Frank would be thinking, “New toy!”
I was playing some Spanish music cassettes over the weekend, and none of the little boys remembered ever seeing one before.

The one nephew has never seen a 33 1/3 vinyl before.
You should have seen the look on his face.
Drunken Elk running off with swingsets, what next?
One can only guess during the rowdy sodded month of Elktoberfest.
I ran into a clerk in a music store who didn’t know what I was talking about. “Those black plastic things, about the size and shape of a dinner plate.” “Oh ... try a used book store?”
And to think party dance mix DJ’s use them still.
This was in the mid-90s, before the turntable-DJ thing had become so widespread.
Howdy
Good morning. 55 here, very pleasant. Sunbeams for the catz.
In my area we could still find vinyl in the local music stores.
But after the three local music shops closed, vinyl is now scarce.
40F for us. Pleasant as well.
guess it coulda been worse..
“We shall torture you with... A Moose in a TREE!” *cue dramatic music and horrifed gasps*
The first is take off and nuke the place from orbit.
Or dig out all the bulbs, clean carefully, apply herbicide, pray a lot, cover with ground cloth, pray a lot, cover with mulch, pray a lot, wait one year, pray a lot, replant bulbs. Oh yes, and pray a lot.
Since Hubby is being unreasonable and refusing to let me have a nuke we are going with option number two.
I made it! Huzzah!
